 Hi, and thanks for all your work. I ran Tor Browser Bundle
 3.0alpha2 and the screen kept hanging for a minute or 2. I thought it was
 due to the recent vulnerabilities and posted as much on your blog. I took
 a screen shot (attached) of the hang and Zemana Antilogger's alert when a
 screen capture was in progress, or so I thought. But I ran the new Firefox
 17.08ESR with the same problem without a Zemana alert, all be it on a
 different computer.

 So I got a Task Manager dump of the greyed out tbb-firex.exe when it
 was hung. The .dmp file, the !analyze-v file, and the WinDBG Open Crash
 Dump files are all attached if I'm doing this right. I cannot read them as
 they may as well be Greek. Do you know what is going on? The Tor Browser
 Bundle is useless in this condition. And I may be wrong but it could be
 Topix.com pages that cause it.

 If you have any questions or I could help in any way feel free to
 email back.

 Regards,

 George
